for what ever reason i am having difficulty unfreezing system apps using myBackup Pro. does anyone know of a solution? or an alternative on how to remove and reinstall a system app. at the moment i want to reactivate Lookout Security, but i can't unfreeze.
Did you try Titanium Backup? Or Rom Toolbox? They both can freeze / defrost. I'm actually on FDA today for a similar reason. I'm trying to restore / reinstall my Live Wallpaper app. I got it to defrost but somehow in the past deleted the data in TB backup files.
I have it backed up with Rom Toolbox but the phone won't let me reinstall the .apk file. I need to figure out what I can do.
I hope I helped.

I'm looking for the best possible solution to backup my apps and apps settings (Handcent Gmail, etc) so when I flash a new rom I'm able to open up the app thats already configured relativity head ache free.
Is this something apps 2 sd would do?
MYBACKUPPRO, TITANIUM BACKUP, ASTRO FILE MANAGER, etc etc - Just search the market for "backup" and google the diff apps to see the features of each.
+1 for Titanium

DITTO makes everything easier
Titanium for sure
dunno about mybackup pro but titanium backup donate has gotten me out of some stupid situations before. It does the apps / data / system data all seperate and lets you restore each or all at once...going to and from CM6 and keeping two roms updated to play around with has never been easier.
Titanium backup. Back up app+data.
If you are going to a new rom and not the same rom it is best to install the apps fresh and not install the apps using Titanium back up. The apps that are saved are saved with the first roms settings and sometimes just the littelest diffrence could cause all sorts of issues leading to FC's or something else.

Didn't know Ti had this issue but MyBackup Pro doesn't. I've flashed different roms to test (always gone back to Fresh because it's just my preferred) and MBPro has always restored apps+data with no issues. The newest version finally doesn't list SU, which always gave me errors back then until I figured not to restore it. Anyways, Ti and MBPro are both great options.
Ok when I flash a new ROM and want to do so with a clean slate/wipe, I have titanium backup to back up all my apps, but I'm still kinda unsure of the full procedure as obvious as it may seem... When I did my first wipe, I had to go back and redo all of my information for everything on the phone. Is this typical? What I mean by that is I had to input all my google account info, set up my home screens, set up my facebook app...and turn off all of my sync's...
if you don't wipe, do you have to do all of that? Does a titanium backup on apps/system data allow you to not have to do this?
is this the proper step by step:
1.Titanium backup - apps/system data
2. Rom manager -download rom w/ wipe and back up
3. load rom
4. titanium restore - apps/system data?
Just apps or apps+user data. System data varies from ROM to ROM. Plus, you have no need of multiple copies of system data.

when i flashed to virtuous and did a wipe, i did a backup before of just apps and when i restored apps+user data, it really didn't do anything. I still had to change all the configurations for everything to not sync and to put in username/password...

was shaky on this as well....what is the difference between user and system data? Just would be a pain to lose all layouts and wifi passwords.
I've been doing apps+system data each time and havn't really had any major problems to speak of
my titanium backup doesnt have an option to back up apps+user data... just apps and apps+system data
My bad on an unclear response.. When restoring from TB, it's apps+ user data. You do not want to restore system apps from a different rom. In the scheduling section of TB, There are different configurations you can choose.

any way to keep home screens and such in place?
Should be the restore desktop htc sense in TB/Restore missing apps+ all system data. That's the only 1 you should pull from there for this.

I just did a restore myself with user apps+data and it had me click 'install' for every app, pain in the ass, anyway to click and go?

Get the paid version.
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I have a quesition about TB Pro. Today I flashed the CM6 ROM onto my DINC. When I reinstalled the TB Pro app onto the phone from my appmonster folder on the SD Card and opened it up to restore my apps in batch mode, TB Pro would FC whether I was trying to restore apps only, apps+data or even individual apps (not batch mode). Am I doing something wrong, am I misunderstanding how TB Pro is supposed to function, is there an incompatibility?
Try the problems button in titanium and clear its data in the application menu.

Have used titanium backup in the past but find that restorations can sometimes fail. Can anyone recommend an app solely for app backup and restoration which saves all saved game data as well ?

Thanks. Will give that a try.
Use my backup root, its the free version of my backup pro.
I prefer it over titanium as it has never let me down.
Titanium and SMSbackup+

i use titanium backup pro you can restore after a wipe very easily all automatic of course you have to reconsider that you can't use files from froyo for gingerbread its natural i think
Probably obvious addition to thread - I use Titanium Backup Pro - remember to restore app AND data. I've never had any issues.
Titanium Pro of course! Never had any problems when restoring Userapps + data this way.
For me the main difference between free and pro is the option, that with free you have to enter every app and system data manually, whereas pro does this automatically. So if you do not flash roms very often, titanium backup free is sufficient.
When I tried "My backup root" it didn't re-install any paid apps.
When I used "Titanium PRO" I used the one bundled with the ROM I flashed, which wasn't current, and was different from the one I backed up with, and I had FCs. So make sure you always download the latest, even when it's bundled. Oh, and I had to reboot before the changes it made were applied.
There can be problems with reapplying system data from one ROM to another ROM, so in that case, just do the apps.
Alternatively, use appbrain to keep a list of apps
Tried both (Titanium and Mybackup). I prefer Titanium Pro since it had nevet let me down.
Once had a problem with Titanium not restoring some apps, but that was due to the lack of space on the phone.

I use MBP which I find really good except that it does not backup Wireless Keys and Account info. Does Titanium do this?
Hey guys,
i really want to try out ICS but somehow Titanium Backup always freezws after a few apps while backing them up
What can I do now?
If it works for you, what version of Titanium Backup are you using?
Or is there another app that does the same (with market links)?
Thanks

I use myphoneexplorer to make a backup of all my .apk files on my PC(also contacts, sms, notes, alarms)
I've had a recent upgrade of tb(4.9.0.2), but it didn't hugely improve the backup/restore ability on the recent ics releases. Works fine on the beta based roms, and cm9. Try app backup.
Does it always freeze into one specific app? Happens to me pretty often, you just have to exclude that app.
If that's not the case, try My Backup Pro. It is paid app.
titanium backup are so slow in ICS
and like to stuck in the middle
i'm back to GB.....
Used my MyBackup Root to back my stuff up.
But upgrading to ICS worked fine even without a wipe

Happened to me where I tried to freeze app and TB just froze.
Try reboot after installing TB.
Not entirely sure but could have something to do with busybox??? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you can try update busybox if it doesn't work.
My Titanium Backup work normal on my ICS beta + office.
For me it only freezes sometime when restoring an app. Just force close it and try again.
I Cannot restore an App (any App) AND I Cannot restore an App+Data using TB Pro version 6.0.2.1
I have been trying for a few days now. I have waited up to 20 minutes for Restores to complete. They DON'T. It just hangs. I have to use the phones Task manager to End Titanium Backup.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing TB several times with no luck..
The funny thing is If I download the App, I am trying to restore, from the Playstore I CAN restore that Apps data from the Backup I have in TB.. Restoring Data isn't an issue.
I have never had this problem with TB and I have been using it for years. Any Ideas on this?
I'm not having this issue with TB but try and clear data of TB by going into Application Manager. Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying AddisG,
Wiping Data did not work. I tried several times and also rebooted after a couple of times. I also wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache in TWRP Recovery. Doing that did not work also.
I noticed that even after uninstalling TB App and TB Pro Key the TB folder is still on my sdcard so when I re-install TB it uses the same "old" folder so I deleted the folder to get a "fresh start". That did not fix my issue either.
This is very perplexing. I have NEVER had an issue with TB before and it is now apparent that no other users are having this issue...
I'm running; teshxx T889UVALL4 Deodexed ROM (debloated by me) only MOD I've done is flash foreverloco [Theme] ASOP UALL4..
I am NOT suggesting the ROM or MOD (everything is running fine) is the issue, I'm just giving info... Could I have debloated something TB needs to perform it's restore operation?.. I must have borked something somewhere... Hopefully I can figure out what I did wrong so I can post it here and solve this Thread.
Have you tried pointing the app back to your sd card? Normally it uses internal storage but since you said tb folder is on sd card the app just isn't seeing it.
Sometimes just rebooting helps the app load the files.

SOLVED!
My issue was that I needed to clear data in the Play Store App and accept Terms and get signed back in.
After doing that I went into TB's settings and used the Market Doctor option to re sync my user apps..apparently TB uses the App to be reinstalled Play Store link.
Thanks to all who replied.
